Q: What's your view of ZWU now with tariffs coming. I'm downsizing risk in my portfolio but would like to keep it for income. Would you add, hold, or sell. Thanks, great service.
5i Research Answer:
Generally (except maybe 2022) utilities provide good steady cash flow and OK gains. Canadian utilities should be somewhat protected from tariffs, being (mostly) regional plays. Covered call premiums add a bit of extra cushion in a downturn. We would consider this a fairly low risk ETF and would be OK slowly buying for enhanced income.
